		<description>Hey Morty,

Thank you for posting this. It&#039;s great to read the truth - it&#039;s great to find a jewel on the web in amongst all the dross. In my opinion you&#039;ve got it spot on. There&#039;s nothing in your piece that I could disagree with. However, be prepared for trouble even if it&#039;s only verbal abuse. You can&#039;t speak truth like this without getting a negative reaction from some people. Once people realise where this logic eventually leads they get frightened and some become aggressive. You have courage as well as insight. Thank you again.

		<description>Morty,
When I was in my twenties, I started my search for something that would help me make my life better. Your reference to &quot;angels&quot; reminds me of the time I got involved with the Ouija board. My sister and  brother in law and I decided to try it out. What was strange was that the planchette would only work for me. I don&#039;t know what or who was behind it or if it was just my own consciousness, but it raced around the board spelling out messages. In the end, I became extremely scared and prayed (at the time I was a Chrisitan). The fear faded and I never touched the Ouija board again. 
I wonder if we literally create &quot;things&quot; and connections because of our thoughts. I&#039;ve read several articles about this concept as well as an audio tape, the first one &quot;Everything You Want&quot; by Mike Hernacki who says, &quot;Thoughts become things.&quot;
Everytime I read your articles, I come up with something new to contemplate. 
Love and Light,
Lauren</description>

		<description>Hi Yusra,

Yeah, I do get philosophical sometimes.  But I always try to show the practical implications.

Thanks for taking the time to write.

Take a look at my response to Cosmos Z for my answer to your question: how shall we go out and play?

Have a great day.

		<description>Hi Cosmos Z,

Glad that what I wrote sparked some thought in you.  That is the purpose of my writing.

There is no way that I know of to not be influenced by our language, but we can be aware on some level that what we are certain is true may not be.

Thanks for your contribution.

		<description>What a great article.  The world is only about how we perceive it.  

If you take that one step further you can say that there is no possible way we will interpret correctly another person&#039;s communication as they intended.  Because of our own separate and distinct belief systems we will only approximate what we &#039;want&#039; to hear.  Morever, depending on our mood and frame of mind we could interpret the same such message differently everytime.  While strange this might open us up to realize that we cannot hold onto our opinions too strongly because there is no way to make another understand our beliefs.

I like your approach - I too belief that perception of the world holds the key to our experience while here.

The next question is now that we know that -how shall we go out and play?

Take care
Jeff</description>

		<description>I personally think that language how we think, interpret and express the things around us and it in fact limits our perceptions. Language is not extensive enough to express what is around us. There are not enough  symbols connected with words to allow us to understand whats around us to largest extent.  I think we all should go beyond our methods of communication to understand everything.
This might specifically be how solipsism came about because we have no other methods of understanding anything besides language.
What you said above relates to what I was just thinking about so you sparked some thought in me.</description>

		<description>Hi Leszak,

I agree that it&#039;s a lot more empowering to ask how something can be done than complain that it can;t be done.

Thanks for the dialogue.

Regards, Morty
P.S.  I have a very good friend named Leszek.</description>

		<description>Hi Kitty,

It&#039;s not just changing what we call things.  It&#039;s getting that what we call &quot;reality&quot; is what human beings call &quot;reality&quot; and other beings might perceive a totally different reality (as some animals and insects probably do).

Thanks for taking the time to write.

		<description>Hi SImon,

I also have heard about &quot;angels&quot; guidning us.  WHo knows if it&#039;s true or not?

But clearly there is a &quot;reality&quot; that cannot be reached only by the five senses.

		<description>I&#039;ve just read read that in Tony Robbins&#039; &quot;Awake the giant within&quot; - to use questions that empower instead of questions that paralyze.

As for the numbers included I&#039;d rather use simple incrementation method - like multiplying your monthly earnings by factor of 1.5 and asking how can I make it happen. That&#039;s a believable amount - then when you earn that increased amount per month multiply it again by 1.5 and ask again how can I make it happen. If you were able to do it in two month interwals then starting from 8000$ you&#039;d be earning over 91000$ per month after a year. I know it&#039;s big shot, but if instead of going up 50% every two month you would go up 10% then in a year you&#039;d get from 8000$ to 14000$, in two years to 25000$, and in five years to 140000$ per month.

From 8 to 140 thousands of dollars per month. That&#039;s 10% raise per every two months for 5 years. How can I make it happen? Now that&#039;s a question :)</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve just read read that in Tony Robbins&#8217; &#8220;Awake the giant within&#8221; &#8211; to use questions that empower instead of questions that paralyze.</p>
<p>As for the numbers included I&#8217;d rather use simple incrementation method &#8211; like multiplying your monthly earnings by factor of 1.5 and asking how can I make it happen. That&#8217;s a believable amount &#8211; then when you earn that increased amount per month multiply it again by 1.5 and ask again how can I make it happen. If you were able to do it in two month interwals then starting from 8000$ you&#8217;d be earning over 91000$ per month after a year. I know it&#8217;s big shot, but if instead of going up 50% every two month you would go up 10% then in a year you&#8217;d get from 8000$ to 14000$, in two years to 25000$, and in five years to 140000$ per month.</p>

		<description>How about changing the way you use the language you already use? There&#039;s a HUGE difference between saying &quot;Why can&#039;t I make $1,000,000 in a single day&quot; and &quot;HOW can I make $1,000,000 in a single day&quot;</description>

		<description>Maeyer, you just used your own logic to prove what Morty was talking about. Morty wasn&#039;t saying that just because you don&#039;t see something, that it doesn&#039;t exist, he means that if you don&#039;t see something, you cannot interact with it, so therefore it&#039;s LIKE it doesn&#039;t exist to you. He was referring not to physical objects, but concepts such as love, empowerment, etc. If you are unaware of these things, they do not exist to you. 

And you said that a blind babe can bump into and feel object, and see without eyes. Yes, so then the baby will perceive it, right? And the baby will then be able to interact with it. But as long as it doesn&#039;t perceive it, it won&#039;t interact with it. Imagine being blind and deaf, and a truck was about to hit you. Because you don&#039;t perceive it, you won&#039;t be able to alter your behaviour to accommodate for it - just like if you have cancer and don&#039;t even know it. It&#039;s still there, it does exist in reality, but as long as you don&#039;t perceive it, to you, it doesn&#039;t exist. And if something doesn&#039;t exist to you, how can you interact with it?</description>

		<description>Hi Tina,

Thanks for taking the time to write.

Interimly we can change our lives by eliminating beliefs	.  Ultimately we are the space in which our lives and reality show up.  As consciousness we create all of it.

		<description>Very well written! You have given very nice examples. Keep up the good work.

I have thought about reality the same way - that it is only our perception. And how culture and language affect how we perceive things and events. In fact, I recently wrote a blog post somewhat related to perception http://tinagoyal.blogspot.com/2010/03/total-freedom.html.

Hindu and Buddhist philosophies (from the Indian subcontinent) talk about the same thing when they say that everyone of us should destroy the world and the reality that we have created around us - to give up the &quot;ego&quot; that we have created which differentiates us from others and the rest of the world - it is only then that we would attain true happiness or experience our true self.</description>

		<description>So if we just change the what we call things, then we see things differently? Instead of people - aliens would see atoms, which we are. Hum, need to apply this to make a more positive view on life. I believe that is the foundation.</description>

		<description>Hey Morty,

Your analogy of the aliens landing here is very interesting.  Don&#039;t know if it&#039;s true, but i&#039;ve heard the theory that the spirit world (ie Angels and Demons) can influence our thoughts and actually exist along side us... but we don&#039;t have the sensory mechanism to actually see them or hear them, etc... much like we can&#039;t see or hear radio waves or cellular phone signals with our eyes and ears, but we know they exist.  I also believe St. Thomas touches on this concept in his book &#039;My way of Life&#039;... in his section on &#039;Angels&#039;.

We were created by God with 5 senses, but who know&#039;s what exists in different dimensions or on different plains that we can&#039;t access thru our 5 senses.  As science progresses, maybe we&#039;ll discover an access to some of these.  Makes for great hollywood movies anyways!!  Keep up the good work!</description>

		<description>Hi Morty, and thanks again for an illuminating article.  I guess you are in some way describing the state of enlightenment from different perspectives which I find very useful.  Your description of how language shapes our reality helps to explain some aspects of the Law of Attraction to me.  Thanks.</description>

		<description>Morty, this is a great piece of information that got me thinking about how I perceive my world. I enjoy looking at the world from a different point of view than my own and this helped bring me there in ways I certainly had not imagined. I&#039;d never realized that a great deal of my own perception was based on my language. Your example of the Nootka &quot;house&quot; was eye opening.

Many thanks,
Deanna</description>

		<description>As Socrates have put it: &quot;I know that I don&#039;t know anything&quot;...

Or Platon who was talking much the same in his parallel of world of shadows on the wall.

So what was your point? To change our apparatus? Not very possible... Our language? If I change my language, none else will understand me. In fact, the language is nothing more than a bunch of memories attached to a mutually agreed set of symbols - be it spoken words or graphical symbols representing them.

So it seems that the only change I can make is in myself - to change my memories. Something that Stuart Lichtman tries to do with his cybernetic transposition...</description>

		<description>I am trying to follow your logic; and I see that language shapes our perceptions; but I don&#039;t see that simply not recognizing or distinquishing an object means it does not exist. As in the blind baby, things around him could become a reality to him, by example, if he bumped into it or felt it. Also, there is a way of seeing without the eyes wired into the brain which has been scientifically proven. Then there&#039;s sixth sense or intuitive knowing. There is a sensing of things, people, communication, events etc. beyond or outside of ourselves, and beyond even what we call this dimension. If whatever mode is the only way we learn, then that is our perception of reality; but it doesn&#039;t mean other things don&#039;t exist simply because we choose not to see them as real. Just as your method &quot;wakes&quot; people up to seeing what was there all along: another way of perceiving the events that cause one to believe one thing or another about life.</description>
